On Wednesday, November 9th, the University of St. Thomas School of Law is hosting a CLE event that might interest some of you. William Mitchell's very own Judge Edward Touissaint will be one of the moderators at the event.
But what is a CLE? CLE stands for continuing legal education. In some states, CLE participation is required of an attorney to maintain his or her license to practice law.
If you're interested in attending, please click on the link and register.

Networking Tip #1
Last night, the Office of Multicultural Affairs had its Welcome Reception for New & Returning Students. And it was a great! Returning students chatted with 1Ls and offered advice on classes and professors. Professors and deans were also there to welcome the new students. It makes me happy to see how William Mitchell continues to be diverse and culturally inclusive. Many of our multicultural alumni attended last night, and they also offered this advice (or warning!) to the 1Ls:
Events like these are great for networking. In fact, it's the primary purpose. Law students forget that other than reading for classes, briefing and outlining that we need to think about life after law school. The economy still isn't doing too well, and so it's difficult to land a job after graduation. This means putting yourself out there!
One useful tool to aid you in networking is a business card. It contains your contact information in a sleek little hard-copy format. How do you go about getting business cards? Go to Career Services and ask them about it. When I had my cards made last year, the school used the company below.
